His last win was 15 months ago but he made a bold when a close third off a reduced mark over C&D (good to firm) last time; responded well to first-time cheekpieces in that race and has claims if the headgear works again.

0-16 this year but mainly at Class 2/3 level and he was worn down only late on by the reopposing Fiscal Policy dropped into Class 4 company at Wolverhampton (6f) last time; no reason why he won't give another good account.

Form & Verdict
Has given trouble beforehand; also pulled hard in his three outings on turf for Ed Walker but an all-the-way 7f novice win on debut shows there's ability for his new connections to work with following an 11,000gns sale in September; the addition of a hood and drop to sprinting are potential positives and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Has proved a bargain buy at only 1,000gns, with his latest Wolverhampton defeat of Aberama Gold his fourth win in only eight starts for Ruth Carr; David O'Meara's reopposing 7yo got first run on that occasion so he deserves credit for picking him off late on; should go well again.
